This picture of a hand sanitiser in the empty Holy Water font was taken by StLouisCatholic.WordPress.com (February 25) in a chapel in Saint Louis Archdiocese, USA.
The faithful used it without hesitation. There was no holy water.
The following mass was riddled with abuses, among them the instruction to remain seated for Holy Communion which was brought to the congregation.
The archdiocese is led by Archbishop Robert Carlson, 75, who succeeded Archbishop Raymond Burke in 2008.

Oh boy. Now Thors Catholic Germs wants to get rid of holy water fonts along with Communion on the tongue. Hoo boy...
"Does Holy Water destroy all bacteria and viruses when an infected persons dips their fingers in it?"
Respiratory viruses are transmitted by breath, Thors Catholic Hammer . You're more likely to catch the flu or COVID-19 just by being in the same Church with an "infected person". …More

You hear that parishioner over there? The one with that nasty runny-sounding cough? That's why you're going to get sick. It won't matter if you're getting communion in the hand or if you avoid the holy water font. For that matter, how can you be certain Mrs. Jones who hands out the Eucharist at your parish every Sunday isn't infected as well? Ever think of that?
She could be one of the infected. If you're so scared of the priest's hands spreading germs, what about hers? If you think germs are spread when the infected dip their hands into the Holy Water, what if she's infected?
Everyone is touching her hands when she places (reverently, we can hope) the Blessed Sacrament in their hands. All those hands touching. All those germs spreading, spreading to you, Thor.
Did you ever consider that when you kneel to pray, there are germs on the back of the pew where you're resting your hands? Or that while you're sitting there during Mass, listening to the homily one of the infected might be sitting directly behind you, breathing germs on you?
I'm certain most everyone has been to an early morning Mass when a parishioner walks by smelling strongly of coffee. They're breathing those coffee vapours. But what if they're one of the infected, Thor? They could be breathing COVID-19 on you as well.
"God demands Catholics to exercise common PRUDENCE at times of danger."
Does He now? Can you quote Him then? No? Why, oh, why am I not suprised? You put words in Benedict's mouth, why not God's?
Perhaps you should skip Mass altogether from now on, just to be absolutely certain you won't catch any germs. Don't leave your flat, for any reason, either. It's only common PRUDENCE after all...
The moment you get on a bus you're surrounded by dozens of the infected. You touched the hand-rail? Guess who might have touched it before you? Guess what's on your hands? Or at the market? You picked up that box of biscuits? Maybe one of the infected touched it or even coughed on it. What about the clerk making change handling all that filthy money and then touching your groceries? Imagine all the germs on every package.
Did you sterlize everything when you got home? No, you did not. You might wash your hands before eating, but then you touched all those cans and bottles and packages you brought home. They are still all covered with diseases from the store.
No need to worry about the holy water font or the priest's fingers, Thor. Your own are every bit as filthy and they touch your lips whenever you're eating a snack.
